That's a very broad question...
How would you find which sites are "illegal" for a given country...?
Are chinese people allowed to access tibetan websites?
Are afghan and pakistani people allowed to connect to the wikileak website?
Do you block breast cancer websites?
Do you block medical pot websites?
Do you block all youtube like website that may show some violence or kinky
stuff?
...
Anyway, you can check dansguardian...
And use a list of banned IPs to block your spammers.
But you will have a hard time chasing them...
Maybe you should limit your proxy to people in your country?
